Solar-Powered LED Panel by Megatex Could Revolutionize Digital Signage

Despite of the fact that digital signage solutions have evolved quite a lot over the past couple of years, most of them providing very good quality images while only requiring a very small amount of energy in order to work, they're still dependent on electrical power coming from the mains, but this is a problem a company called Megatex has managed to solve, apparently.

Megatex is a Bulgarian manufacturer of various LED products, its extensive lineup including LED walls, LED screens, sport information systems, digital clocks and thermometers, digital transport systems, dynamic message displays, etc.

And as the Energy Harvesting Journal reports, it seems that they've decided to use their extensive expertise in this particular field in order to create a digital signage solution that doesn't need to be plugged in the mains in order to work, using the best-known (and easiest to access) type of renewable energy around, namely the one generated by our own sun.

For this reason, the company's engineers and researchers attached a 5 kW solar panel to the display, the panel providing the relatively low amount of energy required to power the LED screen.

Without a doubt, the advantages of such a solution are quite impressive, as the solar-powered LED panel is very eco-friendly (doesn't require any electrical power in order to work) and, more importantly, it might prove to be a boon for outdoors advertisers, who might place such digital signage solutions just about anywhere they might see fit, even in those areas where access to a power source is a major problem.

Unfortunately, there's still no data regarding the market availability of this solution from Megatex, but given just how lucrative this segment might become on the future, we're quite sure that we'll see it arrive on the market over the next year or so.
